Colin, Paris, France Gold Enthusiast	Posted The longest fifth set ever played in a tennis grand slam final took place yesterday at Wimbledon. But who held the previous record that Federer and Roddick eclipsed, and where was it played?

Not 'to boot'. Roddick was booted by Reebok. dg, how come you are hot on French sport and sportsmen ? (Answer under a plain envelope, if necessary)
